I’m glad that I’m not senile–I THOUGHT that back in the Old Days when I was young, everyone called Pres. Bush (Sr.) an evil racist, but then when he died and everyone was admiring him and all the Democrats were praising him–I figured that my memory is just aging and unreliable.
And i remember that Pres. Bush (younger) was considered a dolt by so many people, but during the funeral, everyone was praising him for his reasonableness–so then I figured, yes, I am definitely due to retire sooner rather than later before I start forgetting how to go to the bathroom.
But your post has made me feel much better about my memory!
I do accept that people can change their mind, and I wish more people would do so. I certainly was disappointed when Donald Trump took the lead over so many Republican candidates that I had always admired. I wondered just how capable he was, although when I saw how he dismantled people like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, I couldn’t help but think that he had the guts to do the job. I never dreamed he would beat Secy. of State Clinton and I spent the week before the election in a dark haze of gloom, wondering what would happen to the U.S. when Secy. Clinton moved into the White House as President. I am not exaggerating–I was tearful and sleepless during that week, and sick at heart knowing what she stood for.
So I was over the moon when she was beaten. I really wouldn’t have minded who beat her–I was just glad she didn’t win. We would be living a nightmare now.
Honestly, all of you who hate Pres. Trump’s policies–do you think you would have been pleased with Pres. H. Clinton? Really? Really??!
